yeah, but file doesn't start its journey at NDVO - these days it "generally" begins at CIO, then CPC Ottawa or whichever one they assign, and then it moves to your LVO. The CIO-CPC bit will generally happen in the first 45-75 days, and then it goes to NDVO (if you are from the Indian subcontinent); again this is load specific.
Once it reaches NDVO, all it generally needs is a quick review and approval (if it's a regular case). Problem is Indian punctuality and efficiency isn't a real thing.
They say London visa office is one of the slowest... :/ You should order GCMS notes, at least you'll have a clear idea of what's going on with your application within 35 days.
I ordered GCMS notes on June 8th, I am expecting them by the end of the week or Monday at the latest. I am worried my application might have ended up in Paris visa office which has the worst processing time.
I am just assuming here, I can be wrong. Since your based out of Africa, you Local Visa Office (LVO)is London, hence that's where your file is at present.
Now I am not sure what it is currently doing there at the moment?
See the post of Legalfalcon and try an guage what goes on in the LVO: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-i...018-aor-join-here.563316/page-45#post-7067821
